Man, I dunno what happened to speakup, but I just did the Debian upgrade and now speakup is repeating itself and warbling the sound volume all over the place. I would be typing something and it would start repeating what I'd typed. I finally had to disable espeakup and the soft synth module to get control back. The synthesizer volume would "deflect" a bit, getting higher and lower as it spoke the screen, and even switching back to the ltlk module, it's skipping text and occasionally the first letter of the beginning of a sentence. How do I get back to the previous release? Michael -- Linux User: 177869 Powered by Intel
